English translation of Urdu poetry couplets of Anonymous litterateur of Social Media # 206
☆☆☆☆☆
खामोशियां बोल देती है
ज़िनकी बातें नहीं होती…
दोस्ती उनकी भी क़ायम है
ज़िनकी मुलाक़ातें नहीं होती…
☆☆
Silence converses with them
who don’t talk to each other…
Friendship flourishes of those too,
Who don’t even get to meet…
☆☆☆☆☆
बेदाग़ रख महफूज़ रख
मैली न कर तू ज़िन्दगी…
मिलती नहीं इँसान को…
किरदार की चादर नई…
☆☆
Keep it spotless, keep it secure
Your life don’t you ever stain
For man does not receive again
A fresh mask for his character
☆☆☆☆☆
क्या कहना उनका जो हवाओं में
सलीक़े से ख़ुशबू घोल देते हैं
फ़िज़ाएँ मुश्कबार हो जाती हैं
फ़क़त जिनके खयाल से…
☆☆
What to say about her who
infuses aroma in the winds
Whose thought alone turns
Whole environment fragrant
☆☆☆☆☆
बस इतना सा असर होगा
हमारी यादों का
कि कभी कभी तुम बिना
बात मुस्कुराओगे…
☆☆
The only effect of my
Memories will be that
Sometimes without any
Reason you will smile…!
